Hi everyone! I finally decided to post today, although I have been lurking since November! I have gotten SO much useful info from you guys, this is such a great forum with an awesome group of people! I'd love to be a part of your weight-loss family :)

Here's my story in a nutshell... Decided after a lifetime of struggling with my weight to take the plunge with WLS. I started my journey last September, my insurance required 6 mth Dr visits, and here I am! Pre-op Monday march 5th and then surgery scheduled for March 20th! It seems like such a long road to get here and now that I'm here, I'm feeling really anxious :/ but I know it will change my life! I start my 2 week pre- op diet this Tuesday... Wish me Luck!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
